WHY did you bring a flag to the beach?! Who does this? Do you need to colonize the beach you already colonized?! 🤦🏽‍♂️

Even Fred Hutchinson himself was a union member and represented his colleagues in the players union.

Jimothy and Unions Forever!

Hundreds of nurse practitioners & physician assistants at Fred Hutch, UW, & Seattle Children’s have filed to unionize with UAPD. Citing concerns over quality of patient care, clinicians are organizing amid growing workloads, staffing concerns, & organizational changes. https://ow.ly/2LJ850ZaEkx

Too bad Uvalde Elementary didn’t sell Teslas.

Looking forward to seeing X crash again today! <sips morning tea>

One of these men flew 39 combat missions. The other carries his small son on his shoulders as a human shield and gives Nazi salutes…

Elon is attacking somebody falsely and egregiously because they are a real astronaut

Please don't let Donald see this.

Our own Rick Wilson hits the nail on the head: Trump is not “making deals” or “playing chess”, he’s just an idiot. Watch the LP Podcast to hear more: bit.ly/4kw7vvV

It’s impossible to have too many pictures of one’s cat. ❤️ 🐈‍⬛

Tesla lost enough value today that it could have fully funded USAID for a year.

The fact that the USA has banned visas for trans people but welcomed rapist Andrew Tate shows how all this "defending women" stuff is total bullshit

When MAGA realizes that Trump has been the enemy all along. It's only a matter of time.

I thought the Super Bowl would have orange juice. I really wondered…..

Senate bid? Definitely, probably, maybe.

Just bake some bread and ignore the news for a bit…. #baking #sourdough #break

Trump needs to be B52’ed immediately. Wtaf. He forgot his Seroquel last night.

Double chocolate chip banana bread = joy, bitches. Ha! We’re still happy, Trump.

This is the best news I’ve heard all day. HERO! 😂

Never forget, in spite of all the red-washing , Seattle is and always has been punk to the core. Punch your local Nazis folks, right in the nuts.

This is Trump's tax plan. Unless you make $300K or more, your taxes are going to increase.

Me too, me too. 😡 😵‍💫 Onward!

Remember: Almost all of us are the descendants of immigrants who fled persecution, or were brought to America under duress, or sought better lives for themselves and their descendants. Politicians who stoke fear and hatred over immigration want you to forget this. Do not.

One way to reduce drug spend is to have the FDA do an analysis of how long medicine retains it's potency. It can do it one drug at a time. No one should throw away medicine they shouldn't have to. Whether pharmacy or patient. www.propublica.org/article/the-...
